Scraped surface heat exchanger SSHE UHT

liquid/liquidmilkfor heat treatment

APV® Scraped Surface Heat Exchanger (SSHE) UHT Systems use scraped surface heat exchangers to enable ultra-high temperature processing of heat-sensitive, viscous and particulate-rich products. Designed for reliable, gentle treatment of challenging formulations, these systems ensure consistent thermal performance, smooth texture and shelf-stable results — making them ideal for aseptic processing of dairy desserts, fruit preps, baby food and sauces. High-Viscosity UHT Processing Plant When it comes to shelf-stable foods with texture, from puddings and fruit blends to thick sauces, uniform heat transfer without fouling is critical. APV SSHE UHT Systems use scraped surface heat exchangers to keep product moving during processing, ensuring even heating and reliable aseptic food processing of thick or particulate-laden formulations. Today’s processors face several key challenges: Avoiding burn-on or overprocessing in heat-sensitive, viscous products Ensuring aseptic integrity for complex or textured formulations Maintaining texture and mouthfeel while achieving high microbial reduction Managing cleaning cycles and reducing operational downtime Why APV SSHE UHT Systems? With decades of experience in UHT processing, APV SSHE UHT Systems are purpose-built for applications where traditional tubular or plate systems are not suitable. They provide: Efficient heat transfer with continuous scraping for uniform, consistent processing High product compatibility, including shear-sensitive or particulate-rich formulations Low burn-on risk, even with starches, sugars and thickening agents Precise thermal control to maintain product quality, texture and stability
